This recipe for garlic prawns is not only delicious, but also really easy to prepare.
The prawns are lightly seasoned with lemon juice, cumin, a little red pepper and of course fresh garlic.
By the way, when was the last time you made dinnerin less than 5 min?
With minimal prep, this quick and easy shrimp dish can be ready in minutes.
It's very simple:as soon as you have passed through the kitchen door, turn on your oven in grill mode, arrange the prawns in a dish and grill them.
You won't even have time to say phew that your dish will already be ready to be tasted!
The preparation upstream of this recipe is not very complicated either.
It consists of whisking together the ingredients of the marinade, adding the shrimp and letting them rest in the fridge, letting them marinate until ready to cook.
I love recipes that you can prepare in advance, especially when you have people over.

4. Set aside and let marinate for at least 20 min.
5. Preheat the oven to the grill position at high temperature.
6. Spread the shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish.
7. Place in the middle of the oven and broil for 3 mins until pink.
There you go, your grilled garlic prawns are already ready :-)
With such a simple and quick recipe, you're in for a treat!
Serve these delicious prawns with a simple salad and you've made yourself a hearty, yet light meal.
This garlic prawn dish is not only perfect for a meal, it is also fabulous for an impromptu appetizer.
I would tend to double or triple the proportions if I serve these prawns as an aperitif because they disappear quickly!
Note :if you want to marinate your shrimp longer, for example for a whole day, do not put the lemon juice in the marinade. Add it just before cooking the shrimp.
To make it even quicker and easier, you can use a garlic press like this to grate the garlic. It is solid, practical and has good feedback.
